Survey/Inequalities
Lesson Outline
PJ and I started the class by surveying students what their favorite flavor of Jolly Rancher is. We looked up all of the flavors: cherry, grape, lemon, etc. Then we went to each room to ask students what they would choose. I had PJ practice saying, "Excuse me", and ask, "May I interrupt to ask you a question?" (PJ had the tendency to barge in and just begin talking). We were able to collect some good data with the popular answers being: Watermelon, Blue Raspberry, and N/A (either don't like Jolly Ranchers or never tried one). We went back to his room and designated a letter for each flavor C=Cherry, G=Grape, etc. Then I created inequalities that PJ had to figure out. I asked him to put a greater than or less than (or equal to) sign to make it a true statement. For example PJ had to compare C+G to O (is the sum of cherry and grape less than, greater than, or equal to orange). PJ had fun with this. It was a good way to introduce Algebraic inequalities.
